Do you need more drops per 8oz in coffee to neutralize the acidity?

hey. um i would imagine so because its acidic. but i would not know how much more..but what you can do is use the test strips to test the acidity and just add drops until you get the ideal ph. :) hope this helps

Best answer here is to STOP the coffee. It is very high with acidity. There is a dandelion coffee out that is total acid free. The taste is great. No need putting something in your drink that is total loaded with acidity (coffee). If you are trying to rid yourself of acidity. Then do it in everything you drink or eat. God bless . This must be something you WANT to do.

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

The bottle says 5 drops per serving which might mean teaspoon. I personally use 7-8 drops for a large cup of Keurig type coffee.

It depends on how strong I want the coffee. If I'm tried and need a burst of energy I just add 6 oz of water. But, if I want a cup coffee to relax I add 8 to 10 oz.

I have made less, just used less water, 1/2 the amount and half the coffee in the container. Worked just fine for me.

It depends on how strong you like your coffee. For 8 oz I would suggest two heaping tablespoons. You can adjust it up or down the next time.

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

Good question. It depends on how much coffee you put into the container. It used to be that 16 ounces was the norm for ground coffee, but as you know, "they" usually give you only 11 or 12 ounces in a bag any more. I would put 9 cups of water into the container if I had 16 ounces of ground coffee, but I only put in 7 cups of water with a 12 ounce bag. Also, the fineness of the grind is important too. If the grind is too fine (not recommended) then you would get less because it is harder for the water to drain through the filter. I would say with a 12 ounce bag of ground coffee and 7 cups of water, I get several cups of the concentrate. (maybe 4 to 6 cups-ish) It fills up about half of the carafe before the neck of the carafe is reached. Again, it will depend on the amount of ground coffee and the amount of water you use. Probably the best way to figure it out is to experiment with different brands and different grinds of coffee. If you grind your own beans, then you can play with that too. I would say that it is not an exact science. I let mine drain all day to get the most out of it. I hope this helps.

I don't know if there is a difference, they both seem to do the same thing, neutralize the acid in coffee....great for acid reflux sufferers like myself...

Yes, just put in less coffee and less water, but you only get about 4 full cups when you do an entire pot.

Absolutely. Just use less water and less ground coffee. Their "cup" is 6 ounces and for 2 cups they suggest 1.5 tablespoons of ground coffee. So 8 ounces of water and one tablespoon of ground coffee is just about right for a "real" size cup. You can also just put water through it without the ground coffee and pour the hot water into a cup with instant coffee. Don't put any instant coffee anywhere in the machine. - charles

It would depend on the size of your chemex container. I usually use 2 spoons of coffee for every 12 oz. of water and have made up to 36 oz. in my carafe, but I can probably go up to 48 oz. Keep in mind that this ratio will make a pretty strong brew.

I do not think the caffeine is higher because after you make the concentrate, you will dilute it with water 3 parts to 1 part coffee. I do, however, find it to be less acidic and that is a plus for me. Just be sure to follow the directions regarding the grind. Too fine a grind will clog the filter for proper draining. I hope this helps you decide.

I always add cream and sugar, and with that combination I would say no.If it is when having a straight cup of coffee it should be minimal.Cream is not going to take that much of an edge off it, and with creamit still has a nice bite, but it's not an acidic bite.

Yes. Using a pour-over method, I brew 28 grams of coffee using 415 grams of water. This equates to about 2 cups of coffee. Just pour more water over the grounds as space allows.

use more coffee. We love it and have had no problems. Make sure you are folding the coffee filters edges like you are suppose to. We use Starbucks coffee and ratio is 4 scoops of coffee/8 cups of water. Coffee remains hot for a very long time in the coffee pot.
